Eppendorf Vacufuge plus: Easy handling, broad versatility
Eppendorf Vacufuge plus was designed with the customer in mind to deliver an ergonomic, intuitive and durable solution that fits comfortably right on your lab bench. An advanced heating technology provides the best treatment for your sample which assures quick, efficient and gentle vacuum concentration of DNA/RNA, nucleotides, proteins and other liquid or wet samples. Our new coated lid provides superior chemical resistance against aggressive acids and organic solvents (e.g. TFA, DMSO).
Easy handling and broad versatility can be found in every aspect of the Vacufuge plus. A user-friendly control panel allows for simple and intuitive operation.
A wide range of fixed-angle rotors and the microplate rotor are available to enable the Vacufuge plus to accommodate a variety of tubes, plates and applications in the laboratory. To achieve outstanding capacity, a spacer is available to allow the stacking of some fixed-angle rotors—increasing capacity up to 144 samples.
Product features > Comes in 3 system configurations: Basic, Complete with pump, and Complete with vacuum port to fit your lab’s specific needs > Extremely quiet operation Chemical-resistant, maintenance-free PTFE diaphragm pump eliminates the need for changing pump oil > Small footprint saves valuable bench space > Wide variety of 15 different rotor options to accommodate tubes from 0.2 mL to 50 mL, microplates and PCR plates > Simple operation due to intuitive control panel > Maintenance-free induction drive and chemical-resistant, stainless steel chamber for trouble-free operation > Can be connected with most commercially available cold traps for use with hazardous vapors > New: coated lid with superior chemical resistance
Operational features > Choice of 3 operation modes (vacuum concentrator, centrifuge, and desiccator) for a variety of application needs > Choice of 4 heating options (ambient, 30 °C, 45 °C, 60 °C) allows safe and efficient concentration of various samples > Choice of 3 application modes (aqueous, alcohol or high vapor pressure) to correspond with sample solvent— reduction of processing time up to 20 % > Brake function can optionally be turned off for use with delicate samples

Three system configurations— tailored to all your needs
The Vacufuge plus from Eppendorf is available with three configurations to meet your lab’s specific needs.
Basic device for connecting to an
existing vacuum pump or house
vacuum line. Power to external
vacuum pumps can be easily
connected and automatically
controlled by using the AC receptacle
in the rear of the concentrator.
Complete System with an integrated
solvent-resistant, maintenance and oil
free PTFE pump, and condensation
trap. Condensation trap purifies
exhaust air by up to 85 %, protecting
against unpleasant vapors. At the
same time, it extends the service
life of all components that come into
contact with the vapors.
Complete System with vacuum port adds extra
capability/flexibility. It allows you to use the
integrated vacuum pump separately—without
having to disconnect it from the system; simply
connect the port to any external device that
requires vacuum
